Terms & Conditions

  • Bookings for all lessons are essential. Bookings for daily group lessons must be made at least the day prior to your lesson. Bookings for all other lessons must be made at least 7 days in advance.
  • Risk Acceptance: While it is an exciting pastime, surfing does involve some dangers that are unpredictable. There is always the chance that participants can be hurt of injured in this activity and so every participant is required to complete our Declaration Form before entering any Port Macquarie Surf School program. Parents / guardians must complete the form if the participant is under the age of 18.
  • We meet at the beach 15 minutes prior to lessons.
  • 24 hours notice must be provided to cancel your lesson.
  • Unfortunately no refunds can be given if, for any reason, you have to leave early while participating in a surf lesson.
  • Once you have started your course, lessons are not transferable to anyone else.
  • Our beaches, and all beaches for that matter, are at times subject to currents, troughs, rips, shallow sandbanks and strong winds. We strongly advise you to take the time to consider these factors before you sign the Declaration Form and participate in a surf lesson.
  • We reserve the right to cancel or postpone lessons due to poor or dangerous surf conditions.
  • Even on rainy days, lessons will be still be held. We’re all going to get wet anyway.
  • Lessons run for 2 hours and although we do require a minimum of 3 participants in our daily group lessons, we reserve the right to provide smaller class sizes with the same level of attention and tuition within a 1½ hour lesson.
